Are you ready for another exciting journey? Today's mission involves understanding the break
and continue
commands. The break
command immediately ends a loop regardless of the defined condition, while the continue
command bypasses the remaining loop iteration and jumps straight to the next one.
We'll start by mastering these controls using simple for
and while
loops before delving into the complexity of nested loops.
Remember the for
loop? Its iteration continues until a condition is met. Let's meet a new friend — break
. Once encountered, the loop stops, no matter what!
To understand better, let's think of a treasure hunt, where each box is a loop iteration. Opening a box executes the loop, and finding treasure (break
) halts the opening spree. Here's how it works in JavaScript:
